foo2zjs is an open source printer driver for printers that use the Zenographics
|
|
ZjStream wire protocol for their print data, such as the Minolta/QMS magicolor
|
|
2300 DL or Konica Minolta magicolor 2430 DL or HP LaserJet 1020 or HP LaserJet
|
|
Pro P1102 or HP LaserJet Pro P1102w or HP LaserJet Pro CP1025nw. These printers
|
|
are often erroneously referred to as winprinters or GDI printers. However,
|
|
Microsoft GDI only mandates the API between an application and the printer
|
|
driver, not the protocol on the wire between the printer driver and the printer.
|
|
In fact, ZjStream printers are raster printers which happen to use a very
|
|
efficient wire protocol which was developed by Zenographics and licensed by
|
|
most major printer manufacturers for at least some of their product lines.
|
|
ZjStream is just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as
|
|
Postscript, PCL, Epson, etc.
